the maximum population of a particular organism that a given environment
can support without detrimental effects. Individual survival and population
sized depend on such factors as predation, disease, availability of
resources, and parameters of the physical environment. Earth's varied
combinations of these factors provide the physical environments in which
its ecosystems (e.g., deserts, grasslands, rain forests, and coral reefs)
develop and in which the diverse species of the planet live.
Populations

, Comprises all the individuals of a given species in a specific area or region
at a certain time. Can evolve over time because of genetic variation.
Example: All the poler bears in the Arctic Circle is the population. Within
the population, polar bears contains genetic variance with in the species.
Germination
Give this one a try later!
When soil and temperature conditions are right, the seed will germinate.
This involves breaking through its outer shell and growing root and shoot
systems. When life first begins to show in a germinated seed, it is called a
seedling.

may be predatory, competitive, or mutually beneficial. Referred to as
ecological relationships
Competition
Give this one a try later!
, when two or more organisms rely on the same environmental resource.
Example: Because they eat the same type of food, cheetahs and lions
compete within their ecosystem.
Amphibians

also born live or from eggs but spend the early part of their life in water
and breathe through gills. As they grow older, the develop lungs and
various appendages (such as legs) and move onto land.
Dominance
Give this one a try later!
when the effect of one phenotype of one allele masks the contribution of a
second allele at the same locus. The first allele is dominant, and the second
allele is recessive,
For example, in humans, brown eye color is dominant over blue eye color.
For a person to display blue eyes, she must have both recessive alleles.
